Pakistani doctor saves Chinese engineer’s life at CPEC hydropower station

ISLAMABAD: In a remarkable act of dedication during the Eid Adha holidays, Dr. Saad Firdous saved the life of a Chinese engineer at the Suki Kinari Hydropower Station on the Kunha River in Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, it was revealed on Wednesday.

The station, the largest hydropower project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) constructed by Energy China, witnessed a dramatic rescue.

During the Eid holidays, a Chinese employee at the hydropower project fell seriously ill, requiring urgent medical attention.

Despite it being a holiday and a time for family reunions, Pakistani doctor Dr. Firdous immediately rushed to the project site.

Tragically, he was involved in a car accident en route but, despite his injuries, he still insisted on rushing to the site with his injured body and completing the treatment task, which deeply moved all the Chinese people in the SK project and made them truly feel the deep friendship from the “Pakistani Iron Brothers”.

In the recognition of his meritorious services, a ceremony was held on June 25 in which Chen Jiajia, Project Director of China Energy Overseas Investment Co., Ltd SK Hydro (Private) Limited, honored Dr. Saad Firdous with a medal of gratitude, according to Gwadar Pro.

This accolade was given to Dr. Firdous’ dedication to saving precious lives at the project site.

His commitment was commended as an outstanding example of medical professionalism and humanitarian spirit.

Dr. Saad Firdous is working at the Suki Kinari Hydropower Project to provide healthcare services to the project’s workers.

His contributions have made him a vital part of the collaborative efforts between China and Pakistan, symbolizing the bright future created by their joint endeavors.

Suki Kinari Hydropower Station is a key priority project under CPEC. It boasts four impulse units with a total installed capacity of 884MW.

Once completed, it will provide 3.212 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, addressing one-fifth of Pakistan’s electricity shortfall.
